      About This Book

      "What a delight to walk on four soft white paws."
      Peter Fortune is ten years old and loves to daydream. Peter wonders what would it feel like to live inside the body of a wise old cat one day and a cranky little baby the next; to rummage through a kitchen drawer filled with useless objects and discover some not-so-useless cream that actually makes people vanish; or to be cornered by a very bad doll who has come to life and is out for revenge. He wonders all the time. Peter doesn't have a problem daydreaming—but the grown-ups do. They just don't understand him—and all the extraordinary things that constantly fill his head seem to bring him nothing but trouble!
